One thing's for sure, graphics cards, motherboards and the number of memory slots in motherboards for desktop computers have increased over years. Such increases cannot easily be implemented in the limited size of laptops with mere chipsets.
Cooling is prime factor too, especially as the space within a laptop is aain so limited, that adequate airflow or cooling methods are even harder to implement.
It's always been the way, but of course, becomes increasingly more difficult.
Laptops have never been readily able to compete directly with their desktop counterparts, nor are they intended to.
The biggest advances in laptos are with HD size, with newer drives being much thinner and arrays allowing for much greater capacity.
However, there are plenty of laptops able to play high spec. games, only these are, as stated above, priced at 3 or 4 times rgeater than the general standard latest laptops.
